Two complete Sidel lines for Neviot

A Neviot plant in northern Israel has been equipped with a Combi line for mineral water and a hot-fill line for flavoured water

Further investment

A small country with stiff competition, a strong tradition of
CSD consumption and the impact of the global recession all make
differentiation vital for mineral water
producers in Israel. Israeli company
Neviot, part of CBC Group, is a leading manufacturer and bottler of
mineral water. They have recently invested in two complete lines
from Sidel: one line equipped with a Combi for 0.5, 0.75 and 1.5L
mineral water bottles, and a hot-fill line for 0.5 and 1.5L
flavoured water bottles.

Diversifying production

Neviot's working relationship with Sidel began in 1993, when the
company ordered its first SBO 10 blow moulder from Sidel for the
production of 0.5L PET bottles. After further steady growth,
Neviot invested in a new line again, a Sidel Combi 14. While
carbonated beverages are still the most widely consumed drinks in
Israel, the water market is growing steadily. Neviot has benefited
from the growth by diversifying its production and
targeting several markets: large formats for home
or office consumption and on-the-go and family formats (0.5 and
1.5L) which together make up 80% of sales. Particularly with sport
caps, the 0.5L format is proving increasingly popular.

Flexible design

To bottle its flavoured waters, the company ordered a complete
line which included an SBO14 and Eurostar PN filler, the automated
filling, crowning and/or capping machine to bottle its "Neviot+"
flavoured water. To measure out the bottle contents, the
electro-pneumatic filling valves are equipped with interchangeable
level tubes (PN model) and with an electronic level probe (PN-LP
model). Through its flexible design, the machine
ensures excellent filling of any type of product or
container.
